Such a long time

Oh my word, but it has been a long time since I have managed to get my fingers headed in this direction. Life is just so busy and full - how did I EVER find time to work?

Just so you know I'm not fibbing: cardio-rehab 3 days a week, exercising the rest of the week, book sorting for the big church rummage sale in April, new motorhome, Dutch classes begin again April 2nd - Phew!

But I did get to play with needle and thread yesterday. Hurrah! I took a class on needle-turn applique from Nancy Chong of Pacific Rim Quilt Company. I have tried for literally years to take a class from her and it has never worked: cancellations, class full, wrong time, etc. etc. Her work is truly amazing and it is virtually all done needle-turn. So here is what I worked on yesterday. Perfect, "no", but as she kept saying 'you are doing this because it is fun",

I think the point is pretty good. The "V" isn't bad. My circle is a bit flat on one side - I know, but that's a work in progress. This morning I woke early, so I pulled out my project #1 to finish up before the month is over [my Stashbuster group is doing a Finish-up-your-UFO's projects in 2012.]
